Car-Go Space by Demuss

made by Demuss for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Car go road? No, car go space!

You are just an ordinary delivery man... in a martian colony.

As it happens in space, asteroids. The asteroid is coming and your only chance to escape is to build a rocket. Seize the supplies you need and deliver them to the silo. Just hurry up!

Very nicely put together, really like the low-poly look to the cars and buildings.
Enjoyed the ending as well :smile:

I also spent most of my time ramming into other cars and making them do a big spin. Good work.

Quite fun car mechanics, crashing into other cars never gets old XD. Maybe having a drifting mechanic could have improved it even more. Playing this reminded me of the Burnout series. Was cool to see the rocket get progressively built as you delivered the parts. Could take it one step further by having the rocket get built one part at a time instead of kind of fading in, but of course this would be harder to implement. Some weird behavior with the boost: if you boosted after being pushed backwards (like after a collision) the the boost applies in the wrong direction.
The ending cutscenes both for failing and succeeding were a nice addition and made me chuckle :smile:

"Everyone else is dead, are you proud of yourself?" what a line to end on :laughing:

Really fun driving, felt great building up speed and the game was at its most fun when you were driving fast and dodging obstacles. The low-poly visuals look great and the music is super catchy and matches the tone of the game perfectly. My only complaint is that it was a bit too easy to camp the spawn points once you were down to only having a few things left to collect, obviously the player has to choose to do this but having it as an option takes away from racing around the level a little.

Overall this is a really great entry and I had a tonne of fun playing!

Very nice game! The low poly graphics are beautiful, great job with the models and lighting, I think with a more polished environment and ambient occlusion it would give it a more "Martian" atmosphere. The gameplay and the movement of the car felt very good, I had a lot of fun jumping on the ramps. Congratulations! xD

Visuals look really good. For me the stuff I need to deliver didn't count up. So i wasn't sure how to continue.
Controls where really nice.

Nice game! The controls felt good and it was fun to ramp a LONG way with the nitro on. Nice low poly art style!

I struggled a bit to find all the components, a mini map could maybe have helped to find the delivery drivers a little bit easier.

Driving was incredibly fun! Traffic was actually the biggest difficulty, would often throw me into the air, but it was really fun! Very interesting goal too. Great work!

Very fun to play game! Slick graphics and sound design. The car crash sound effect was especially satisfying. As someone already mentioned, having some sort of (mini)map would be helpful, but I really enjoyed playing it nonetheless!

I completed with 2:49 reaming. The collisions between the cars were hilarious, and sometimes they even happened without my intervention. However, when I alt-tabbed at score screen, the game crashed. Nonetheless, I was impressed with the excellent soundtrack and graphics, which added to the overall experience. The gameplay was also enjoyable. Great job overall!
